Interpretation Conducive To Books The Twelve (The Passage #2)
In his internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel The Passage, Justin Cronin constructed an unforgettable world transformed by a government experiment gone horribly wrong. Now the scope widens and the intensity deepens as the epic story surges forward with The Twelve.In the present day, as the man-made apocalypse unfolds, three strangers navigate the chaos. Lila, a doctor and an expectant mother, is so shattered by the spread of violence and infection that she continues to plan for her child’s arrival even as society dissolves around her. Kittridge, known to the world as “Last Stand in Denver,” has been forced to flee his stronghold and is now on the road, dodging the infected, armed but alone and well aware that a tank of gas will get him only so far. April is a teenager fighting to guide her little brother safely through a landscape of death and ruin. These three will learn that they have not been fully abandoned—and that in connection lies hope, even on the darkest of nights.
One hundred years in the future, Amy and the others fight on for humankind’s salvation...unaware that the rules have changed. The enemy has evolved, and a dark new order has arisen with a vision of the future infinitely more horrifying than man’s extinction. If the Twelve are to fall, one of those united to vanquish them will have to pay the ultimate price.

3 to 3.5 stars - Not quite as good as the first one.A similar pattern - a strong, entertaining, and intriguing start that lasts for the first third of the book. After that, there is an abrupt shift into a disjointed conglomeration of action sequences, supernatural oddities, and confusing conversations. With the first book, this reconciled itself into a strong finish. With this one, I knew what happened, but I was not quite sure WHAT happened!? (If that makes senses)Characters - sooooo manyMy rating 4.3The book The Twelve (The Passage # 2) by Justin Cronin is a solid follow-up to the first part. Stories of survivors blend in completely new ways. The world has not become better, perhaps it has become worse, and the fight against 11 major Viral continues. Honestly, this part I liked a bit more. This time the writer adds new characters, new events and to the core evil enemies. I would not talk about the main story but believe me, it will not leave you indifferent because the

I recently read The Passage this year so I was lucky I didnt have to wait as long as everyone else for book two; The Twelve. I was privileged to win an advanced review copy so I need to be careful in reviewing this book without any spoilers. As many people would already know The Twelve continues on with the epic tale that The Passage built. This time we have a whole lot of new characters to read about as they struggle to survive in this nightmarish world of virals.One of my biggest issues with
Cronin is a gifted writer who tells engrossing stories. Even when I'm confused, I still just want to read more. The book time shifts back and forth and it can exhausting keeping all the characters straight. Keep in mind that the past characters generally don't matter. Most of their stories don't continue on (even though I'd love to have known the rest of their stories). A large section of the book focuses on 4 different groups during the early days of the viral plague. Most of the book does
Oh. My. God.There are books and there are BOOKS. There is writing and there is WRITING.This was brilliant.I find myself at a lack of words to describe how amazing the whole series is.I actually shook my head in disbelief while I was reading certain parts because I couldnt believe the epicness.
Y'know, the longer time goes by, the more I hate this book. So, now it is down to one star. Sometimes it takes a while to realize how much you don't like something. Or hate it. I apparently hated this. I think the thing that threw me over the edge was Alicia's rape.Spoilers, because I'm too bored not to. *edit* ACTUALLY, not only are there spoilers, but I realized as I typed how HOSTILE I was to a particular plot twist that was wholly unnecessary, pointless, and aggravatingly trite. And utterly
